HANGZHOU, July 28 (Xinhua) — Typhoon Ko Mei, the eighth to hit China this year, re-intensified into a typhoon on Sunday evening after weakening into a low-pressure weather system as it approached eastern Zhejiang Province, the provincial flood and drought control headquarters said Monday.
Zhejiang provincial authorities have issued a Level 4 emergency response to the approaching typhoon, whose epicenter was about 700 kilometers southeast of Zhoushan city on Monday morning, with wind speeds of up to 18 meters per second.
The typhoon is expected to move northwestward at a speed of 15 to 20 km per hour and reach the eastern part of the East China Sea, approaching the coastal areas of Zhejiang Province with increasing intensity.
The approaching typhoon is forecast to bring heavy rain to coastal and northern parts of Zhejiang Province over the next three days, with the heaviest rainfall expected from Monday evening to Wednesday.
Meteorologists have warned that Typhoon Ko Mei's effects could spread to previously rain-hit areas in northern Zhejiang Province, creating a high risk of disasters such as landslides, flash floods and torrents in small river basins and flooding in urban and rural areas. -0-
